Stellar Mercenaries has just launched its most ambitious update to date with The Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling its content and introducing new worlds, factions, missions, ships, and gear. This major update brings the Jovian Empire and the Pirate Council into the fray, two factions locked in a fierce battle for dominance around Jupiter and its moons.
Dive into 50 new missions spread across five different worlds, each offering unique challenges such as escort operations, piracy, train defense, and hyperspace hunts. With six new ships like the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker, you can tailor your fleet to suit various combat scenarios, each ship boasting its own distinct abilities and configurations.
Enhance your arsenal with six new weapons including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. Defensive upgrades now feature Tier 4 shields and armours, while new special abilities and mods like Drones, Point Defense, Critical Strike, and Missile Fire Rate introduce additional strategic layers to your gameplay.
Enemy encounters have become even more thrilling with the addition of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk-class mercenaries, formidable foes that adapt and evolve alongside your progress. The update also includes dynamic environmental hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy ambushes, and the menacing Pacifier, a new threat lurking in deep space.
For those seeking more variety, a new side mission system ensures the action remains unpredictable. Additionally, 14 new music tracks enhance the immersive sci-fi atmosphere. The Hangar Manager has been upgraded, expanding both your inventory and loadout slots, allowing for more effective management of your arsenal.
